Chapter
1:

They
who wield the Keyblades

The
sound of metal met metal clung to the air as King Mickey had just cut
through an armored knight Heartless with his Keyblade. 2 years had
passed ever since Mickey and the other Keyblade chosen ones defeated
Xemnas. But even after that, peace was still seemed to be far away.

"Goofy!
Behind you!"

Goofy
had used his shield to slam a Neo-Shadow who just resurfaced when
another burst out, trying to claw his back. Before the attack
connected, a bolt of lightning struck the Heartless, disintegrating
the black creature.

"Gawrsh,
thank you Donald."

"Be
careful next time." The royal magician landed with a flip right
next to Goofy.

After
the fall of Xemnas, everything seemed to be peaceful. However, Mickey
had requested the royal scientist, Gyro Gearloose, to keep a close
watch on the castle of The World That Never Was. Chip and Dale were
asked to prepare and build as many the Gummy Ships as possible
(Financed by Scrooge McDuck) in preparation just in case if anything
went wrong. Then, all the sudden, millions upon millions of Heartless
were spotted erupting from the castle. The King, upon receiving the
report, immediately dispatched letters to every existing world:
Radiant Garden, Atlantica, Land of the Dragons, Olympus, Destiny
Island (the place where Sora, Riku and Kairi lives), Halloween town,
and many other worlds. The first battle zone was Twilight town, the
closest world to the castle. After a gruesome battle, they managed to
defend the place. But the damage caused by the battle was severe.
Nevertheless, the Twilight town was turned into a temporary command
center to repel the massive Heartless incursion.

The
conflict escalated into a 2 year war. The heartless army was so vast,
that it took a long time to deal with them. Now, both sides were
entering the final, decisive battle.

Hundreds
upon hundreds of Gummy Ships in various classes (Highwind, Falcon,
Invisible) swiveling in the sky, engaging intense airborne battle
with the Heartless.

"There's
so many of them!" One of the pilot of the Gummy ship exclaimed. He
locked on one of the flying Heartless and took fire.

"It
got my left wing!" One Falcon got one of its wing burned down as it
took a shot out of the Heartless.

"I
got him!" A Highwind took aim and shoot down as many Heartless as
it could.

A
group of Invisible turn left and showered a barrage of Firaga and
Thundaga at a horde of Heartless; taking out a lot of them.

"Protect
the mother ship!" A Highwind, leading a squadron of Falcons and
Invisibles, took out a battalion of Heartless that are heading
towards the said mother ship, a HUGE Gummy Ship.

The
mother ship was colored in white and blue, and has a flat surface on
top of it, forming a long rectangular platform, with many cannons
(Firaga, Blizzaga, Graviga) and laser missiles (Thundaga and Ultima)
on it. On the flat surface of the ship, battle raged between the
Disney kingdom royal knights and the Heartless on top of the said
platform. The main bridge bears a striking resemblance with the
Disney castle. Inside the main bridge Launchpad Mcquack, Huey, Dewey
and Louie were
piloting the huge ship, with Queen Minnie leading the ship. Gummy
Ships came in and out constantly from the massive ship's hangar. A
huge writing, the ship's name, in blue was plastered on the ship's
side: Kingdom Savior. Several parts of the ship were on fire.

When
Minnie found out that her king was about to undergo another gruesome
battle, the queen dislike the idea that she had to wait and worried
sick in the Disney Castle waiting for her king to return. She
persuaded Mickey to let her fight as well. Mickey reluctantly agrees.
Hence, the Kingdom Savior was created for her to command.

"Queen
Minnie, we got a squadron of Bolt Tower and Rapid Thruster heartless
coming towards the hangar!" Dewey reported. Several cannons
immediately took fire upon the incoming enemy. One of the Bolt Towers
got a direct hit and crash land upon one of the cannons, creating a
large explosion.

"Protect
the hangar at all cost! Most of our pilots are there!" Minnie
turned a screen on. Inside the screen was Chip and Dale. "Chip,
Dale! How's the hangar?"

"This
is pretty bad Queen Minnie!"

"There
are too many ships damaged here! We need more time to fix them!"

"Just
do it as fast as you can. Those Heartless will surely try to hit the
Hangar again."

"Gotcha!"
The twin squirrel answered in unison.

Minnie
turned to another screen. Gyro Gearloose and Horace Horsecollar were
on the screen. "Gyro, Horace, damage report?"

Gyro
Gearloose, the royal scientist. He's the inventor of Gummy blocks.
Thus, in a manner, he invented the Gummy ships. Possess hundreds of
ideas of inventions, he worked in the castle laboratory, constantly
came up with ingenious idea (often though, by using a hammer on his
own head).

Horace
Horsecollar, royal chief mechanics. Chosen to be responsible with
Kingdom Savior's maintenance. Able to fix anything broken. Hence,
he was paired with Gyro, whose habit was to blow up the kingdom's
laboratory with his experiments.

"This
is bad, Queen Minnie! Currently the damage has surpassed 30! And it
increase faster then we fixed them!"

"The
fact that the direct battle took place on top of the Kingdom Savior
does not make things better!"

"We
have no choice. Our warriors need a place to stand."

"Let's
just hope this ship is still in one piece after all this is over."
Gyro groaned. Seeing one of his greatest inventions getting lots of
damage certainly not what the scientist hoped. All the sudden, a
blast exploded from the distance. Gyro yelled out. "Close the
breach hurry! Use the box Gummy blocks on it!" The screen went out.

Minnie
sighed. 'I hope Mickey and the others are okay…'

Out
there, on top of the Kingdom Savior, battle rages. Cloud and Leon
were slashing every Heartless in the way using their own Keyblades
(Fenrir and Sleeping Lion). Hercules, in addition to his godlike
strength, uses a Keyblade (Hero's Crest) as well.

"Gyro,
I'm really sorry about this." Herc tore a large gummy block off
the ground and throw it at a group of Wight Knight.

"STOP
BLOWING HOLES IN MY SHIP!" The royal scientist's frustrated yell
shot out from the hole.

A
swivel of slashes later Auron appeared wielding Guardian Soul. "Well
now… this Keyblade sure is handy…"

"Thanks
for King Mickey and Sora who taught us how to use it." Jack
Skellington dropped a rain of lightning upon a group of Shadows. The
pumpkin king taps his Decisive Pumpkin keyblade on his shoulder.

"Here
they come again!" Mulan gritted her teeth as she rushed forward.

On
the other side of the battlefield, a silver haired boy was shooting
down several Rapid Thrusters with dark energy balls from the tip of
his keyblade before continuing hacking off as many enemies as he can.
All the sudden, a large beast-like Heartless with 3 pairs of hands
landed right in front of him. The heartless is carrying two long
scimitars on its hands. The boy smirked. The heartless roared and
raised both swords, intent on slamming it at the boy.

"Not
today Zisa." With a flash, the Kurt Zisa (Final Mix Secret Boss)
was cut to pieces. "Kairi be careful."

"I
can take care of myself. You watch yourself Riku!" Kairi smiled.
After 2 years pass, Kairi's hair grew longer as she became taller
as well. Her outfit doesn't change much, except that it's in
bigger size and now her skirt is much longer.

When
she received the letter from the king, she knew that a great danger
is at hand. Like Minnie, she refused to stay behind and prefer to
fight alongside her friends. Eventually, in the last 2 years, Sora
and Riku tentatively taught her the basics of sword fighting and the
way to utilize her keyblade. Now, although her skills in fighting are
still nowhere close to be on par with Riku or even Sora, she's
still strong enough to hold her own ground. Kairi jumped out to the
air as a neo shadow suddenly burst out from her shadow. She
immediately slammed her weapon to the black creature's head,
splitting it to two before the creature disappears.

All
the sudden, a group of Armored Knight butted her in. Kairi turn
around only to see all the Heartless were cut to two. Kairi smiled.
"You're always late Sora!" She looked at the swirling black and
white light.

The
black and white lights continue to swirl around, cutting every
Heartless in the way to nothingness. In the center of the swirl was
Sora. After years of wielding the Keyblade, Sora had finally gained a
full mastery over the weapon. Now, he can use two Keyblades
(Oathkeeper and Oblivion) simultaneously, and better yet, he was now
able to unleash the Keyblades' true power at will. The fact that he
can control the Keyblade without actually holding them was evident
enough for that achievement.

The
swirl ends to reveal Sora. After the last 2 years, his appearance
undergoes the most significant change compared to his friends. His
hair was still in a terrible mess as it had grown even longer in the
period. He still wore the same black garment he used before, but a
sudden growth spurt in the last 2 years forced him to change his
shorts into a pair of long black trousers. Aside from that, his new
outfit also donned a long white coat, with black motives on it,
covering his trousers. The keyblade master descends and floats few
centimeters away from the ground. His two weapons were hovering
readily on his back, waiting for their master to go on action. They
don't have to wait long. Sora jumped and dashing in the air at high
speed, spiraling the Kingdom Savior, taking out every Heartless that
tried to breakthrough. With a blink of an eye, a good part of the
Heartless who were heading towards the ship is now gone.

"Hm.
Impressive." Cloud quietly stated.

"As
expected from a Keyblade's chosen master." Leon added.

"Wow!"
Donald exclaimed in awe.

"Gawrsh,
Sora had become so strong ain't he?"

"Let's
not fall behind guys!" Mickey pulled out another Keyblade. Now he's
also holding two nearly identical Keyblades: Kingdom Chain, and the
dark world version of Kingdom Chain. The King jumps here and there,
taking out as many heartless as he goes.

After
spiraling again and again, Sora began to spin dangerously fast before
landing with a loud explosion on top of a group of Heartless. Many of
the creatures caught in the explosion disintegrate to nothingness,
leaving the remaining Heartless to be cut down by another keyblade
swirl. Once the swirl ends, the two weapons immediately return to
Sora's side.

"What
took you so long?" Riku appeared right next to his friend.

"Gotta
help Tron. Some of the cyber Heartless managed to infiltrate Kingdom
Savior's computer system."

"If
you're here, I assume that it has been dealt with?"

"Correct."
Sora cut down another group of Rapid Thrusters that were heading
their way.

"Still,
this is a hell of a lot of Heartless." Mickey landed next to Sora.

"Maybe
that Maleficent and Pete was behind this. We left them in the castle,
remember?"

"I
dare not imagine how many poor creatures that lost their heart to the
darkness, given to how many Heartless we've encountered."

"Let's
just hurry to that castle and see what's wrong with it."

"Agreed…
Say, how bout if we do something drastic?" Mickey smiled
mischievously.

"Huh?"
Sora and Riku looked at the smiling king.

Mickey
pulled out radio. "Launchpad, you hear me?"

"Yes,
highness?" Came the pelican pilot's reply.

"Set
Kingdom Savior into a collision course with the castle! We're going
to ram it!"

"WHAT?"
Sora and Riku jaw dropped.

"Urhh…
are you sure? Scrooge and Gyro will hunt for my blood if I do it!"

"I'll
take responsibility! Just do it!"

"Mickey,
are you sure about this?" Minnie's concerned voice rang out.

"Sure
as ever."

"I
hope you know what you're doing."

"I
wish I do." Mickey cut the transmission soon.

In
the bridge, Minnie sighed. Launchpad looked at the queen.

"Well,
my queen?"

"Let's
just do it. Huey, contact all ships, tell them to open up a path for
Kingdom Savior."

"Yes
ma'am. All ships, offensive maneuver, delta formation. Open a path
for Kingdom Savior to the castle."

"Roger!"

Out
there, all ships gather in front of the Kingdom Savior and began to
clear a path. Meanwhile, the ship in question began to accelerate
towards one of the castle towers. The heartless, sensing the sudden
change in formation began to intensify their attack at the mother
ship. One of the Gummy ships was shot down and crash landed on the
mother ship. A group of Rapid Thrusters managed to breakthrough the
blockade and ram themselves into the Gummy ship. Slowly they began to
drill in.

"Breach!
Detected breach in sector N-2!" Dewey yelled on his com.

"We
got incoming at 12 o'clock!" Louie reported as he saw the radar.

"Damage
surpassed 40! Queen Minnie! If this keeps up…" Horace appeared
on the screen.

"Keep
advancing! We've promised Mickey we're going to make it. And make
it we shall!"

Back
to Sora, Riku and Mickey…

The
3 Keyblade master rapidly hack apart any heartless within their
reach.

"Riku,
Mickey, let's go!"

"Roger!"

"Here
we go!" The three raise their Keyblade. Gold light erupted from the
tip of their weapon and enclosed them all. Their weapons, enclosed by
the golden light, turn into a bigger version of the Keyblades.

"FINAL
KINGDOM!" The three keyblade wielders slash their Keyblades to
every direction, unleashing massive golden energy waves with each
swing, wiping off every Heartless upon contact. After a few moments,
the energy wave attacks diminished, Sora, Riku and Mickey thrust
their weapons to the ground in unison. Giant pillars of light
appeared all over the place, disintegrating the remaining heartless.
By the time it's all over, there was barely a quarter of the
heartless army left.

"HERE
WE GO!" Launchpad immediately set the boosters at max. The Kingdom
Savior accelerated even further and rushed forward, straight into
castle of the World that Never Was.

"Well,
it looks like we really going to crash into that castle." Jack
Skellington exclaimed.

"We
better get inside. We don't want to be caught in the collision."
Tifa gulped.

"Let's
go then lads and lasses." Jack Sparrow told everyone with his usual
flamboyant tone. Soon, every fighter in the ship's surface
immediately ran back inside. Kairi and several others immediately ran
towards the bridge.

"Wait
the minute… where's Sora?" Kairi looked around. Mickey and Riku
had gone back, but the brunette haired boy was nowhere in sight. She
looked to the front and gasped. Sora was standing right at the
forefront of the ship. "SORA, What're you doing there? Get back
here, we're going to crash!" Riku looked at where Sora was.

Just
then, a LARGE Heartless appeared out of nowhere, blocking the path.
The Heartless is colored mainly in black, with 3 pairs of large
wings. On its main body there are 3 pairs of large clawed hands. A
heartless emblem was imprinted its chest. Its tail had 6 pods
encircling it and the head looked like that of a black dragon with
spikes all over its long neck and shoulders. Its yellow round eyes
shine menacingly.

Launchpad
gasped. "What the… where the hell that thing came from?"

"Turn
around!" Donald screamed in panic.

Just
then, Sora's voice came out from the intercom. "Launchpad!
Whatever you do, maintain the velocity and the direction of the
ship!"

"Given
to our current velocity, we only got less then 20 seconds left to:
either somebody could take that lizard down, or change the direction
of this ship."

Kairi
looked worriedly at Sora. 'Sora, please be careful…'

Out
there, Sora glided towards the dragon with high speed, avoiding a
burst of fire from the dragon's mouth. Sora counters by slamming
Oblivion into the dragon's face, followed soon with a thrust using
Oathkeeper, continued with another slash using both keyblade
simultaneously, slapping the dragon's head backwards, and pushing
the dragon towards the castle in the process.

"15
seconds!"

The
Heartless dragon roared and slammed Sora using one of its hands,
sending the dual keyblade wielder towards the closing Kingdom Savior.

"Sora!"
Kairi screamed in horror when she saw the scene.

"10
seconds left!" Launchpad began biting his finger.

Sora
immediately regained balance, and step on the charging Gummy Ship,
before stomping the ground, and dashed back towards the heartless
dragon. Sensing the danger, the dragon grabbed a fragment of the
castle and threw it to the boy, only to have the building fragment
cut to pieces. Using pieces of the building, Sora jumped from here
and there, heading towards the dragon at high speed.

"5
seconds left!" Beads of sweat dropped like rain from the pilot's
neck.

The
dragon roared and charged towards Sora, trying to bite the keyblade
master.

"4!"

Using
Oathkeeper, Sora managed to parry the attack by hitting the dragon
nose. He immediately slammed Oblivion to the dragon's forehead,
giving it a good headache to remember.

"3!"

The
Heartless roared in pain. Using the opportunity, Sora jumped back and
landed on one of the building fragments.

"2!"

The
Heartless dragon charged forward.

"1!"
Launchpad closed his eyes.

A
flash of light later, the dragon's head was separated from its main
body. It began to dissipate as the dragon start falling towards the
Kingdom Savior.

"SORA!"
Kairi screamed. Everyone was shocked to see Sora was at the crash
point of the castle.

Realizing
the danger, Sora immediately glided upwards. A second later, a loud
explosion sounded from his back, signing that the ship had crashed to
the castle. Everyone in the ship had trouble standing as the
resulting impact caused a severe tremor to the entire ship and the
WTNW castle itself.

Smoke
was rising from every part of the ship. Inside, Gyro, lying on the
crumbling floor, was utterly shocked at the sudden tremor. "When I
find Launchpad, he's so dead!" The royal scientist cursed.

"We're
lucky to be alive." Horace gulped. An exceptionally sharp gummy
block was just inches away from his throat.

Inside
the bridge, Kairi immediately tried to stand up. She ran out of the
bridge. "Sora, SORA! Where are you?"

The
surface of the ship is in mess. Crumbling floor, piles of rubbles,
scorching flames, and rising smoke stretch as far as her eyes can
see. "Sora…"

Suddenly
there's a movement out of the smoke. Her heart temporarily
rejoiced. "So-"

A
Heartless abruptly burst out of the smoke, catching her off guard.

Kairi
looked horrified at the sudden attack. Just then, the Heartless was
suddenly cut to two. The Heartless dissipates to reveal Sora, alive
and well.

"Aww...
my poor beak…" Donald get up, rubbing his aching beak. He looked
around and saw Sora. "Hey SO-rmmm!" Before the duck could finish
his words, Goofy immediately closed his beak. Donald looked at the
Royal Knight Captain questioningly. Goofy smirked and motion the duck
to be quiet.

"I
think we should let them alone for now, Donald. Uh-yuk!"

Mickey
got up and helped Minnie to stand up as well. When they looked at the
Sora and Kairi, they smiled coherently.

After
a few moments, Kairi finally let go. The two looked at each other.

Sora
and others immediately draw their weapons out. The former immediately
raised both Keyblades to the air and slam it to the ground, sending a
line of shockwave pillars that blast out some of the Heartless.
"CHARGE!"

And
the battle rages again. The fighters began to push forward with Sora
in the lead.

Easily
enough, Sora hack the heartless down one after another. A Kurt Zisa
suddenly appeared and swung its blades towards Sora. The attack
missed him horribly. Before the giant Heartless could do anything, it
was split to two.

Riku
jumped over a Giant Body, landed on its shoulder, and shot a barrage
of dark aura on its head, dead center.

Mickey
jumped here and there, taking out a Heartless every now and then.

Hercules
uppercut a Fat Bandit into the air as it was welcomed by Auron's
rapid slashes midair.

Leon
performed his Lionheart in consecutive with Cloud's Omni Slash,
taking out lots of Heartless as it go.

Aladdin
summoned Genie, who transform into a giant hammer, and pummeled down
every Heartless nearby.

Several
Heartless was frozen down by Jack Skellington's spell, only to be
burned out by Mushu's fire breath.

Goofy
smashed every Heartless closing by using his shield as Donald cast a
rain of lightning upon the enemy in the distance.

As
the fighters were fending off the Heartless in the tower, the Gummi
ships had wiped off the last Heartless in the sky, and began
concentrating their fire upon the castle.

"Alright,
let's do this fast. Falcon 1, Thundaga!"

"Falcon
4, Thundaga!"

"Highwind
20, Ultima!"

All
Gummi ships fired all their lasers and cannons towards the castle,
heavily damaging it.
